PRESENTS!

Yello my honeybears!

I know I've posted already today BUT since today is my boyfriend's birthday, I got thinking about presents and things I want for Christmas or my birthday. They're so close together that I really struggle to think of things that I need or even want tbh so I've started just making list through the year.

I love getting presents, who doesn't? Even if you know what it is, you almost always get that lovely fluttery feeling in my stomach when you're tearing into the wrapping paper or opening the bag. I recently passed my driving test and, because my boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year, he decided to get me a present. I broke my last clutch bag on a night out (clumsy drunk) so he got me a new one.
I can't even explain how in love I am with this clutch bag. It goes with just about everything and it's so shiny. I'm like a magpie, sorry. It's so big that you can fix your purse, keys, essential make up, the kitchen sink into it and still have room. It also has a detachable hand strap and chain so you can use it as a clutch or use the chain or hand strap, I use the chain because I feel safer that way but it looks good with or without. It was almost 20 quid but seriously, it's well worth the money as it has no magnet that could become detached and leave you open to pick pockets, it's a zip close so everything is safe and sound.
Clutch bag - Missguided.com - £19.99

I really like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars and most things quirky (hence why I bought a replica 'One Ring') so when I found a website that sells Star Wars and Lord of the Rings dresses and leggings, I was over the moon! Everything is a little pricey but seriously, I'm yet to see someone complain about the quality. Here are a few of my favourites:
 R2D2 body suit
 R2DR and C3PO leggings
Witch King leggings - All blackmilk.com

I could just post the website link because, tbh, I love E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. The witch king leggings are on my anniversary list and the others are on my Christmas and birthday list (if I haven't been able to buy one in the mean time). If you are a lover of quirky clothes then this and Etsy are perfect places to shop.

So, if anyone feels like they've got too much money to cope with then you can always buy me one of these :)

I'll be off to bed now guys,

Toodles

Summer has finally arrived!

Yes, you heard it here first people. Summer has arrived in the UK, for the week at least but since I've finished work and the sun is still shining, I thought I'd make the most of it.

This is my general summer look, it's probably like 99% of the female populations because it is actually so ridiculously basic, it's a fail safe.

Sorry for the shit quality of pictures btw, I have to take them on my phone because I a) don't have a 'professional' camera a.k.a an extremely expensive one and b) it makes me look like I'm orange when really, I have the skin colour of a redhead (very, very pale)

Denim shorts with a vest, or bandeau top in my case, are a classic! You can't go wrong really unless you have, like me, escaping fat that make me just shake your head in disgrace.
I adore this top. I got it out of a magazine when I was like 12 and because I'm a massive squirrel and struggle to throw stuff away, I still had it when I got boobs (yes, that wonderful time in life). My denim shorts are actually way too big for me hence why they look so odd at the front, there's on the tightest notch of my belt. I bought them off eBay and tbh, they're amazing. 18 quid for Levi shorts? Erm, YES PLEASE! It was my own stupid fault for not measuring myself properly before ordering them so I can't fault the company. They're amazing and I would honestly get more if I hadn't spent my last 18 quid on a cat dress (I regret nothing!)

Ahaha, my eyebrows look sooooo wonky! I always wear black eyeliner, liquid and kohl, no matter the weather. I use both the Rimmel exaggerate waterproof eye definer in black and the Maybelline New York master precise eye liner pen. I prefer eye liner pens because they are far more precise and I don't end up with my eye liner covering most of my eyelid, it's happened to us all at some point and, lets face it, it's so annoying having to redo it all over again. I recently got a Barry M eye shadow pencil in Gold Cream to make my eyes look bigger, it does the trick but it doesn't sit nicely and starts to look a bit bobbly.
Aviators are the coolest sun glasses ever. I love sun glasses and I have a lovely selection from big WAG style glasses which make me look like a fly to my favourite mirrored Aviators. I seriously worry about my eye sight so whenever it's sunny I have to get my sunnies out just to protect my peepers from any damage the sun might cause them.
My hair is in awful condition atm. It needs a good cut and dye job because it just looks horrible. I do normally try and go for the 'beachy waves' look but it didn't quite take this time and ended up looking like a frizz ball.

Wing style ring from a vintage/retro store in Durham city centre.

I love accessories. If my outfit is plain, like this one, I add some unique accessories that will add some flavour to the entire thing. That way, it stands out and doesn't seem so drab and boring.

I'll say this now, if you've bothered to read all of this. I LOVE EBAY! There's so many companies on eBay that do amazing stuff for cheap. I have clothes, accessories even full make up brush sets from companies on eBay and when they're from like China and that, there's normally FREE DELIVERY! How can you go wrong?! Answer: You can't/

Wey, that was my outfit yesterday.
Hope I've converted you to the ways of the wonderful eBay.

Toodles my honeybears.
